For Coaches
KAIZEA for Football Coaches — Coach smarter, not harder
As a coach, you spend too much time on spreadsheets, WhatsApp check-ins, and gut-feeling squad picks — and too little on the pitch. KAIZEA automates Load Index calculation, wellness monitoring, and player analysis, so you can focus on the training that actually matters.
Your day without KAIZEA
What does your time as a coach actually go on?
Tracking load by hand in a spreadsheet
Logging every player's attendance and effort manually — and still never being quite sure who's actually overloaded.
Wellness check-ins over WhatsApp
"How's everyone doing?" in the group chat gets buried under scheduling messages and memes. A structured answer is rare.
Picking the squad on gut feeling
Without a data basis, the lineup stays a guess — you often only find out who's really fit once the match has started.
Knowledge disappears with the coach
When a new coach takes over, they start from zero. The previous coach's private spreadsheet is gone.
Why it matters: the Load Index keeps training load in the sweet spot between 0.8 and 1.3 — above that, injury risk rises (Gabbett, British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2016). It's measured through session RPE: perceived exertion (1–10) multiplied by session duration in minutes, a validated, hardware-free measurement method (Foster et al., Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2001). Keeping that accurate by hand for a whole squad is nearly impossible — KAIZEA calculates it automatically.
In your day
What does KAIZEA actually change for you as a coach?
Every morning you get an AI briefing in three sentences: who's fit today, who needs rest, and what to watch for in training. The Load Index runs automatically from attendance and session RPE — no more spreadsheet upkeep. Ahead of the match, the AI gives you a data-driven squad suggestion; the decision stays with you.
- AI briefing in three sentences, every morning
- Load traffic light calculated automatically from RPE + attendance
- Squad suggestion ahead of matchday
- 2,000+ drills with video instructions

Frequently asked questions
How much time does KAIZEA save me as a coach per week?
Automatic Load Index calculation, AI briefings, and digital session planning replace manual spreadsheet upkeep. Our estimate: around 1.5 hours less admin work per week — time you get back for real coaching. This is our own estimate based on the product workflow, not a study and not a pilot measurement.
Can I use KAIZEA on the go?
Yes. KAIZEA runs as a web app right in your browser — on phone, tablet, and laptop. You can check wellness data, plan sessions, and read AI briefings, right from the training ground. Native iOS and Android apps are in preparation.
Does KAIZEA work for youth teams?
Yes. KAIZEA has dedicated data-protection features for minors under GDPR — separate parental consent, EU hosting in Germany and the Netherlands, and a separate AI opt-in. Parents follow their child's development through their own account.
Do I need technical skills or analytics experience as a coach?
No. KAIZEA prepares the data for you — you don't need to analyse spreadsheets or understand formulas. You can set up your first training session in about 5 minutes.
Does KAIZEA replace WhatsApp or DFBnet?
No, KAIZEA complements both. Team communication stays in WhatsApp, match results still go through DFBnet. KAIZEA handles training load management — load, wellness, AI briefings, and drill planning — things neither WhatsApp nor DFBnet were built for.
Do I need GPS trackers or other hardware?
No. The Load Index is based on session RPE, players' validated self-assessment of effort, multiplied by session duration. Wearables and GPS data can be added optionally if your club has them.
